Wagner was leading out teammate Daniele Bennati for the sprint, when they came to the roundabout. The riders were to go left, while the right hand lane was open for the team cars and other vehicles to leave the route. Wagner however went to the right and with a few other riders had to turn around and go back. Most riders went the correct direction but in the confusion, many braked and lost momentum and position, and were thus not able to sprint for the win.
